Isn't it really the psychologists who allow gender theory to be pushed on kids?
The Frankfurt people are responsible for the actual theory and they are sort of leftist but without the psychologists they could never push their stuff on children.
But is there a source of this movement that can be pinpointed?

So it's like, Science says LGBT is normal, so we can teach that to children?

Psychology and gender theory could both be considered fields of social science, and the social sciences almost always tend to be 100% left-wing. All the peers in the peer review system tend to have the same views and biases so, in absence of diverse opinion and critique, they act as a hivemind to reinforce the things they like rather than the things that are true in reality. As a result, broken theories that uphold deceptive narratives get approved as legitimate critiques. Once their theories get a stamp of academic validity, it entrenches them deep into the system. Even if they are incorrect, that "academic seal of approval" means they can be cited in all the places where citations and sources are mandatory. Since the peers tend to share the same biases and beliefs, they tend to ignore or even deny discussion of anything that contradicts the narratives and theories already baked into the system.
The media exploits the supremacy of citations as well. >be NYT >considered an accredited outlet for journalism that follows procedure >publish absolute bullshit about [topic] that cites botched, but validated, academic theory >"fact checkers" and wikipedia cite bullshit NYT article on [topic] which cites validated academic bullshit It's a major exploit, for sure. Sadly, it traps anyone who appeals to the utmost authorities and institutions, which should reflect truth but don't, into a very narrow viewpoint.
Julian Russell
Good take. In what Thomas Kuhn calls normal science the scientists form a sort of hivemind in their disciplinary practice. This is just as true in physics as it is in the social sciences so it doesn't in itself invalidate the idea that science discovers truth.
I am still wondering who is the real lever-puller when it comes to teaching kids trans ideology. Is it the school social worker?
Jackson Sullivan
transgenderism is just re-branded homophobic attempts at conversion therapy for gay kids
being gay is innate and harmless and teaching kids that gay people exist doesn't turn them gay

The difference is that in physics there is a very strong adheresense to the principles of provability, evidence-based theories etc. No theory will last long if all the evidence obviously disproves it. Social sciences haven't really solved the replication crisis yet, let alone moved towards any semplance of objectivity. Especially retardation like feminist studies which are basically a daycare for dumb women who want to have a degree.
Brandon Collins
Well the problem is there's no such thing as objectivity about normative facts outside of Christianity. For example, you can't scientifically prove that it's okay to be trans. Even if you say it's "normal" one can say why be normal?
the weakest faggiest people imaginable have been placed in positions of power and influence, and they must build a giant death machine in order to protect themselves from you.
Well yeah, that's because you can't really define "it's okay to do X" objectively. It's possible to be objective in real science. If you're a doctor that wants to prove the hypothesis that "X protein increases cancer rate in humans" that's either true or false, objectively. Even social sciences can have objective measures.
